Spectral Calibration Lamp, Hg (Ne), 18, ±5 mA, 500 Hour Rated Life

The 6034 Spectral Calibration Lamp produces narrow, intense lines from the excitation of Neon gas and Mercury vapor. The 6034 Hg(Ne) Lamp is temperature dependent. When run in normal lab ambient, the output is very similar to that of the Hg(Ar) Lamp, which is the characteristic mercury line spectrum. Forced air-cooling (i.e. from a muffin fan) of the lamp adds the neon lines to the output. This lamp operates at 13 to 23 mA and is rated for 500 hours of life. It is used for wavelength calibration of spectroscopic instruments such as monochromators, spectrographs, and spectral radiometers. We call this a pencil lamp because of its size and shape. It is made of double bore quartz tubing with two electrodes at one end sealed into a phenolic handle. A 1 foot (305 mm) long cord with male connector is attached to the end of the handle for connection to the AC power supply (not included).

AC Power Supplies Available

We offer AC power supplies specifically designed for pencil style calibration lamps. These power supplies are required for proper operation of the calibration lamps. AC power supplies have the benefit of being CE compliant and prolonging lamp life, as they operate lamps with small variations in output intensity. There are two models for each lamp type based on geographic location and AC power requirements of that region.

Three Filter Types Offered

Spectral output of the 6035 Hg(Ar) lamp with different filters used

When only certain portions of the lamp's output are required, three different filters are offered to block out the undesired spectral lines. Like the aperture shields, these filters simply slide over the lamp.

Short Wave Filter: Blocks visible wavelengths
Long Wavelength Conversion Filter: Attenuates the 253.7 nm Hg emission line and allows transmission from 300-400 nm
Glass Safety Filter: Protects the user from the lamp's intense UV spectral lines, completely blocks the 253.7 nm Hg line and attenuates the 312.6 nm line

Fiber Optic Accessory

The Fiber Optic Accessory holds the face of an SMA terminated fiber close to the lamp to collect a portion of the light output for spectral calibration purposes. The optical post and holder are not included.

Post Mounted Lamp Holder

The Holder is suitable for mounting the pencil style calibration lamp for open air configurations. The 2.0 inch optical post in the picture to the right is included.

Monochromator Mount for Spectral Calibration

The model spectral calibration lamp mount holds a calibration lamp securely at the input slit of an Oriel Monochromator or Spectrograph. Compatible with Oriel's 1.5 inch size flange series, the 78819 provides close coupling for excellent throughput with minimum light leakage.

Three Aperture Shields Available

When the radiation area of the lamp must be limited, Oriel offers three aperture. These aperture shields simply slide over the pencil calibration lamp and limit the lamp's output with the following aperture dimensions:

Pinhole Shield: 0.040 inch (1 mm) diameter
Small Aperture Shield: 0.313 x 0.375 inches
Large Aperture Shield: 0.188 x 1.50 inches
